Résumé:
This book documents three large-scale symposia at Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art. Structured to establish a lively platform for debate and exchange, these symposia explore the practice of three of the protagonists of the contemporary art world: the critic, the curator and the artist. Are they still the people who decide what art is made, what is seen, and whether it is ''good''? The book includes transcripts from workshops and dialogues, and also contains spirited contributions that arrived from participants in the months after the dialogues took place. Bringing together the cross-generational experience of the attendees, this compendium offers insights from some of the most renowned and promising figures in their fields.

Résumé:
Volume—a word that refers to sound, collections, and the measurement of space—is a crucial characteristic of both graphic design and popular music. While expressing different aspects of these two pervasive cultural mediums, the term also introduces a discussion on their many links. This publication is a collection of both new and classic writings by frequent Emigre contributor and educator Kenneth FitzGerald that survey the discipline of graphic design in context with the parallel creative fields of contemporary music and art. The topics of the writings are diverse: the roles of class in design, design education, Lester Bangs and Creem magazine, pornography, album cover art, independent record labels, anonymity and imaginary creative identities, and design as cultural chaos-maker.

Résumé:
Charles Saatchi, fondateur de la célèbre agence de publicité Saatchi & Saatchi, est certainement aujourd hui le plus célèbre collectionneur d'art contemporain au monde. En 1985, il ouvre à Londres une prestigieuse galerie qui aura notamment pour vocation de promouvoir les fameux Young British Artists. En octobre 2008, la Saatchi Gallery s'installe sur King's Road, dans le quartier de Chelsea et propose quelque 6 500 m2 d espaces d exposition. Sa dernière audace en date : la diffusion, depuis octobre 2009 par la chaîne britannique BBC2, de School Of Saatchi, émission de téléréalité et sorte de Nouvelle Star de l'art contemporain. Si l'émission porte son nom, il ne s'y montre cependant jamais. Saatchi est connu pour ne jamais accorder d'entretiens. Cet ouvrage offre désormais la possibilité de découvrir ses réponses à une série d'environ 200 questions posées par des journalistes et critiques en vue, ainsi que des anonymes. Que ces questions soient relatives à l'art, la publicité, l'argent, la vie politique ou sa vie privée, Charles Saatchi y répond avec une franchise déroutante, parfois brutale mais toujours avec beaucoup d'esprit, d'humour et parfois une pointe de cynisme.

Compiled for the first time here, essays by American critic, artist, gallerist and dealer John Kelsey convey some of the most poignant challenges in the art world and in the many social roles it creates. Rich Texts play the double role of explaining the art world and actively participating in it; they close the distance between the work of art and how we talk about it. These writings - many originally published in Artforum - embody a timelessness that strikes at the core of the contemporary art world.

Résumé:
In our society, cultural activity usually refers to the high culture of the elites and popular mass culture. Clarke Mackey argues for a third category: vernacular culture. Vernacular culture comprises all those creative, non-instrumental activities that people engage in daily: conversations between friends, social gatherings and rituals, play and participatory sports, informal storytelling, musical jam sessions, cooking and gardening, homemade architecture, and street festivals. In this discussion, Mackey maintains that practising and celebrating such activities at the expense of passive, consumer culture have far-reaching benefits. Mackey further examines how literacy, imperialism, industrialization and electronic technologies have produced a culture of spectatorship, apathy and powerlessness.

Résumé:
The Studio Reader pulls back the curtain from the art world to reveal the real activities behind artistic production. What does it mean to be in the studio? What is the space of the studio in the artist’s practice? How do studios help artists envision their agency and, beyond that, their own lives? This forward-thinking anthology features an all-star array of contributors, ranging from Svetlana Alpers, Bruce Nauman, and Robert Storr to Daniel Buren, Carolee Schneemann, and Buzz Spector, each of whom locates the studio both spatially and conceptually—at the center of an art world that careens across institutions, markets, and disciplines.
